BARCOA Agaveria is a basement bar that celebrates the spirits of Mexico. Serving imaginative craft cocktails and a vast list of agave spirits, BARCOA is often described as "vibey," "sexy," and "the time of my life" (says some dude from Mesa). Agave spirits such as tequila, mezcal, bacanora, raicilla, and sotol, are the stars here, available as flights, neat pours, or however you like.

Reservations are only available for the basement bar. Please reference the Basement Bar Menu. Above BARCOA, check out the Cantina, a casual back-alley mezcal and tequila bar that serves affordable classic cantina cocktails, and the cheery patio, which features Provecho taco truck. Pop out anytime during your visit and bring food down to the basement.

BARCOA can be tricky to find. We're located on the southeast corner of 1st Avenue & Roosevelt, in the historic red brick building. Don't worry, you're not lost. It's just poor directional signage that the City refuses to fix.

    We loved Barcoa… the tequila selection and cocktails were exceptional! We sat in the basement which had eclectic artwork and an effortless cool vibe. The tacos, churros, salsas and pico from the food truck were flavorful and delicious! We were surprised the bartender was rude and dismissive, he made our party feel unwelcome. Hope his night got better!

    Did not have food. There is a food truck outside that is very good. Overall the place has a great, relaxing vibe and decor. The agave spirits are second to none. Server was very knowledgeable about the spirits. Definitely going back.

    The signature cocktails are very unique and tasty. I highly recommend trying any/all of them. Maybe not at the same visit! HA HA There is no food prepared/served in the bar, but the food truck outside was very good. You are allowed to eat that food in the bar. It got very noisy the longer we were there. But overall, it's a great environment with super cocktails and tequilas (flights).
